Free Treasure

Do you wanna go to the river?
I know this spot, so deep and green
With wild raspberries and apple trees
And rocks to climb between
Water like a washing machine

Do you wanna dance?
Sometimes, I think I try too hard
I trip on my shoes and I trip on my shirt
Get caught on the dirt in the yard
Caught on the dirt in the yard

You show me understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure, love without measure

You're cooking dinner
It's gettin' around half-past-ten
I haven't smelled food so good
Since I don't know where and I don't know when
Where and I don't know-

Stove light glows like a fire
We're sitting on the kitchen floor
Just when I thought I couldn't feel more
I feel a little more
I feel a little-

Understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure, love without measure

There's a guy on the nape of my neck
And he hangs out there all day
He quantifies my every thought
And tells me not to play
He tells me not to play

We lay around for hours
Talking about childhood pain
Mom and dad and past lives too
I can tell you anything
I can say anything

You show me understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure, love without measure

Show me understanding
Patience and pleasure
The eleventh dimension
Free treasure, free treasure
Free treasure
